In addition, Jose Fernandez da Ponte, Vice President and General Manager, Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and Digital Currency at PayPal, confirmed that the company will work closely with regulators to ensure full regulatory compliance.

“Our global reach, digital payments expertise, and consumer and business knowledge, combined with rigorous security and compliance controls, give us a unique opportunity and responsibility to help people in the UK explore crypto. We are keen to continue to work closely with regulators in the UK and around the world to support us – and make a meaningful contribution to shaping the role of digital currency. said Jose Fernandez da Ponte in the press release.

Cooperation between PayPal and Coinbase

The payment processing giant launched crypto trading services for US customers last October. In early April, the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced that it would add PayPal as a payment option for US customers. This is the first time PayPal has encrypted products outside of the United States. This has enabled millions of users in the US to add their PayPal-linked debit and credit cards to their Coinbase accounts, creating a way to seamlessly purchase crypto on the exchange.

The launch of crypto exchange services in the UK marks the first international expansion of PayPal’s crypto services outside of the US. This helps to strengthen the mainstream application of this new asset class in the world market.
